Combine water, sugar and karo in a sauce pan over high heat until boiling. Let boil a few minutes until it reaches 300 degrees (use a candy thermometer

Once it reaches 300, continue to cook for a couple minutes but not too long- it will burn fast.

Once you get it dissolved and to the right temperature, take it off the heat and add the flavoring and dye then pour it into the pan
